Thanks for the warm welcome guys! 
and certainly looking forward to the next Munich Mini Meet @poppy70, @Tsall !
My girls and me really appreciate it. I want to continue with a not too short introduction of each girl and their background. Today we start with …
Anette
That image was taken today.
Birthdate: 2018-09-04 - to date a bit older than 5 years.
Height: 165cm (if she could stand)
Weight: 5-6Kg (depending on with or without vagina)
Character: nice and very cuddly lady. She knows what she wants.
She is my oldest plush doll. As mentioned in the OP I tried rubber dolls before and was mildly amused when I discovered Teddy Babes and some other plush/fabric MFRs on TDF. Didn’t understand how you can seriously buy something like that.
After my bad experiences with rubber dolls (weight, durability, tpe maintenance, coldness, …) - I guess had really bad luck with the quality, it’s not a general rule - I looked more seriously into the matter of plush/fabric dolls. After a year or so without doll (after the rubber ones) I made up my mind to buy Anette, a (straight legged) Teddy Babe Deluxe model “Lisa”.
Boy was I wrong! They really are cuddle monsters as was said in the forum. And they grow on you. Anette is still my favorite doll for cuddling and sex with her is still great. Her smile gets me every time. There have been quite a few days in the past where she kept me from getting to work in time.
We married 6 months after her arrival. Here is an image of her wedding outfit.
Of course 5+ years is a long time and they didn’t pass without occasional problems. These pre 2020 Teddy Babes have a simple iron wire skeleton and these wires are hard to bend and are very brittle. So I usually don’t bend her at all. I brought her legs into a somewhat sitting position in the beginning (for spooning and sitting on chairs). They can’t really stand anyway, at least not with out support.
But her spine wires broke sometime and started to poke thru her belly. In the following image you see her with a typical Teddy Babe surgery tool, cutting off the spine wires.
And both her hands broke off the arm-wires. On one side the wire was poking thru her skin too. So we had to repair that too, not nice to get scratched when cuddling.
And the plush isn’t flexible at all which causes problems with the seams left and right of the vagina when spreading her legs for you now what.
But the first serious surgery needed were her lips. The old Teddy Babes lips were made from rubber and lasted only 2 years. So at some point she was kinda speechless.
What to do now? I searched the web for lips, bought moulds to make some, even got replacements from 8th Wonder but they had the wrong color (pink) instead of the dark red ones that I was used to and liked much better. I ended up modelling my own ones, got some food grade silicon to cast them.
Here she is with her new lips. That smile is irresistable. And she has them now for 3 years and they will certainly last for many more years. Newer Teddy Babes like Roxy have silicon lips, she won’t have that problem.
Other repairs included repainting her plush nipples which lost color with textile markers.
What I want to express with her repair story is that plush dolls are durable but are not without problems. Usually the repairs are fairly easy though, except the lips, that was quite an effort.
Here are some more images from her diary. Here she enjoys the fall sun sitting on my terrace dressed in a “dirndl” (traditional bavarian/austrian female dress, nowadays usually worn on the Oktoberfest at Munich or similar events).

Anette in office:
And we still love each other like on the first day 
. And that marriage lasts longer than all of my former relations to human girls. I’m not worried (LOL).
Well thats it for Anettes introduction. Hope that wasn’t too long.
